Looks can be deceiving!


What are we showing viewers about a woman's image? I just want to see what others think when it comes to the examples we have of women's bodies. Kelly Clarkson is a beautiful and talented woman. Kelly is comfortable with her body and image. The article below will show an interview with Kelly Clarkson, which is a testimonial that she is okay with her body and image. Why do we need to edit photos and images of women who are happy with themselves? I believe that this is because natural beauty may not be considered "flawless beauty" anymore. There are so many tools and products that the media uses and sells to "perfect" the images they represent. Why do magazines have to enhance, touch-up or even completely distort the real images they show in their magazines? Is this just to sell the magazine's or product's? I believe that this is one of the reasons that young women have such a difficult time accepting who they are and what they look like.Women are represented all over the media and shown as slim, beautiful and flawless. I think that viewers may get the wrong idea and assume that natural is not beautiful. The picture we are sending viewers is a false advertisement because these images are not real and can cause alot of unrealistic ideas to all.
